Where you'll be working - Our Product Team
The Product Team oversees all aspects of product across The Newt estate, spanning retail (shops and online), hospitality, events, and wholesale. This includes buying, merchandising, new product development, packaging, and procurement. Collaborating with internal departments, the team enhances key pillars of the estate—such as the hotel, gardens, and visitor attractions—by adding products that align with The Newt’s vision of seasonality, quality, and local sourcing.
Within the Product Team, the Merchandising Team ensures accurate stock control of food, drinks, packaging, and consumables. By tracking BBE dates and maintaining clear records, we minimise waste and provide full visibility of product availability for retail and hospitality. The team also manages till systems, conducts monthly stock takes, and oversees smooth new product launches and de-listing processes.

Nestled within an expanse of rolling fields and steeped in ancient history, our luxury country estate stands as a haven of refined elegance, inviting guests to explore acres of captivating gardens, meandering pathways, and enriching exhibitions - accessible 364 days a year for our members. Our hotel extends a warm welcome, offering a home-away-from-home experience where impeccable service flourishes in an ambiance of unassuming sophistication. Beyond the estate, the Newt's essence remains tangible, with our Ecommerce teams delivering our finest products to homes, while media and membership endeavours keep them informed of our latest developments. Behind the scenes, a tapestry of talented teams - from Housekeeping to HR, Finance to Farming - collaborates harmoniously, crafting an unforgettable journey of growth, development, and innovation, where every contribution creates unparalleled experiences.
